As protesters forced the postponed of Wednesday’s LA City Council meeting, Rob Bonta confirmed that his office will investigate the city’s redistricting process.
Los Angeles City Hall is reflected in the windows of LAPD Headquarters on Monday, October 10, 2022. On Monday Nury Martinez resigned her city council presidency after being recorded making racist comments.
Bonta added: “The redistricting process is foundational for our Democracy and for the ability of our communities to make their voices heard. And it must be above reproach. Given these unique circumstances, my office is going to investigate. We’re going to gather the facts. We’re going to work to determine the truth and take action as necessary to ensure the fair application of our laws.
Bonin said the conversation makes it imperative for a detailed examination of the city’s redistricting process. Councilmembers introduced several agenda items to address the fallout, including a resolution to censure councilmembers Martinez, de Leon and Cedillo and a resolution, which seven councilmembers signed, calling for their immediate resignations from office. Martinez resigned her post as president but not her council seat.
